This Sunday at Saint Paul's

He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.” Mark 8:29

Holy Eucharist will be celebrated at the 10:00AM liturgy, in person and via Zoom; login instructions above.

Flowers on the retable this week are given to the glory of God and with gratitude for Saint Paul’s Church by Jacob Manier.

The loose plate collection on third Sundays goes into the Rector’s discretionary account. These funds are used to assist people in need, and for unexpected expenses not covered in the budget.

Join us for Coffee Hour snacks, puzzling, and fellowship immediately following in the Undercroft.

Pastoral Care

The Pastoral Care Team has a request for all: as we practice our social distancing, do not let that extend to social isolation. Take a few minutes every day to call someone to see how they are doing – to reach out and say a prayer with them and/or find out if they need anything. One of the things that is so important right now is to connect with our community. If there are those who need help, please let us know and we will figure out how to assist; if you are that person, please reach out to Deacon Janet or Pat Trumbull. As Jesus said: Love one another.
